reference page
reference page. In Open System Services (OSS) and Distributed Computing Environment
(DCE), the online or hard-copy version of a file that provides reference information for
a software facility. Some UNIX product externals and end-user publications use the
term man page instead, referring either to the online delivery mechanism used to
display the file (usually the shell man command) or to the nature of the file as part of a
publication.
register-exact point. A synchronization location within an accelerated object file at which
both of these statements are true:
•
All live TNS registers plus all values in memory are the same as they would be if
the object file were running in TNS mode or TNS interpreted mode or on a TNS
system.
•
All accelerator code optimizations are ended.
Register-exact points are a small subset of all memory-exact points. Procedure entry
and exit locations and call-return sites are usually register-exact points. All places
where the program might switch into or from TNS mode or TNS interpreted mode are
register-exact points. Contrast with memory-exact point and nonexact point.
register pointer (RP). The register pointer in TNS computers.
requester missed address file (RMAF). A file used by the HP NonStop™ operating
system during memory-caching operations.
regular file. In the Open System Services (OSS) file system, a file that is a randomly
accessible sequence of bytes. A regular file contains binary or text data and has no
structure imposed by the system. Contrast with special file.
relative pathname. In the Open System Services (OSS) file system and Network File
System (NFS), a pathname that does not begin with a slash (/) character. A relative
pathname is resolved beginning with the current working directory. Contrast with
absolute pathname
.
release version update (RVU). A collection of compatible revisions of HP NonStop
operating system software products, identified by an RVU ID, and shipped and
supported as a unit. An RVU consists of the object modules, supporting files, and
documentation for the product revisions. An RVU also includes a set of documentation
for the overall RVU.
RELOAD. An HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL) command to load the HP
NonStop™ operating system image from disk over the ServerNet fabrics into the
memory of the processor.
remote access. A form of remote support, configured in the OSM and TSM Notification
Director. Remote access, or dial-in, allows a service provider to dial in to your system
console and access your HP NonStop™ server to diagnose hardware and software
problems. See also remote notification
